The complaints prompted education officials to intervene and assess the situation on the ground.
According to reports, the affected students were asked to leave the school after allegedly failing to complete assigned holiday work.
The decision has sparked debate among parents and stakeholders, with many expressing concern over the scale of the action and whether it was justified.
Officials from the Nyeri County Education Office are expected to engage the school’s administration, teachers, and other stakeholders to establish the circumstances that led to the decision.
The team will also seek to determine whether due process was followed and if the action taken aligns with existing education policies and guidelines.
Parents have raised concerns about the disruption to learning, noting that sending such a large number of students home could negatively affect their academic progress.
Some have also questioned whether alternative disciplinary measures could have been considered instead of sending the learners away.
The incident has drawn broader attention to the handling of academic performance and discipline in schools, particularly in cases involving large groups of students.
Education stakeholders have in the past emphasized the need for balanced approaches that uphold academic standards while safeguarding students’ right to education.
While the school administration has yet to issue a detailed public response, the intervention by county education officials signals the seriousness with which the matter is being treated.
The findings of the dispatched team are expected to guide any further action, including possible directives to the school.
The situation has also reignited discussion on the role of parental involvement in students’ academic responsibilities, with some observers noting that holiday assignments require support both at school and at home.
